Building Stairs

Family is coming over this weekend for a hot dog roast and I’m promising my father in law he won’t die on the stairs. Winking smile This means I need to build a stair case leading into the RV, since Keystone added a 4th step making it easier to get into and out of the rig when there is no deck they clearly gave no thought to the fact many people will be in fact in a campground with a deck making the last step un-usable. When we bought the rig I thought we could un-pin the last step, I was wrong.

See how the last step is folder over? I’m going to try and build a small two step stair case that will slip over that bottom folded over step so the top wooden step is even with the metal step above the folded one so that step is pretty long making it very stable to stand on. This will also help when Ronda and I are handing things to each other. I can’t imagine it’s going to be pretty but it should work if I do it right! More pictures to come this weekend!

It’s nice having a place family can come to where we can have a fire going and everybody is around it enjoying themselves. Good times!

I know...and now that we have that larger fire pit it definitely works out better. You should set up that old time radio thing out by the shed like you mentioned. That would be cool. I'm sure my dad would love that! We have to get those lights up around the deck also. Gonna miss having Jared there though. You should take some pics that I can send to him. He'd really like that! He always had such a good time hanging out with us by the fire. Can't wait to see him...I miss him so much!

Agreed, to all the above, also I can bring up the AM and FM transmitters and broadcast Old Time Radio as well.

Anonymous - You know what, go visit my brothers site and be a pain in his rear. I don't have a link for it but I'm guessing you do, I have no interest so go away. I have better things to do.

Rae - I hope I build it right! I know the family get together will be great, we just all hang out and talk and watch the fire, it's an awesome time.

It will be interesting to see the steps finished.

Great gatherings with the family are fun. Hope all enjoy.
